Android 14 review: There's always next year

This is the best summary I could come up with:

This year's release of the world's most popular operating system feels like one of the smallest ever, bringing just a handful of new features.

The bugdroid is now fully rendered in 3D, and in keeping with Google's Material Design guidelines, it comes in a variety of colors and styles.

The one spot to catch it in the real world is in a tiny "powered by Android" message on the rarely seen phone boot screen.

You can long-press on the lock screen, and a "customize" button will pop up, letting you pick from seven different clock styles.

There's also a "size" setting for the clock, which determines if it kicks into full-screen mode when you have no notifications or just stays small all the time.

Previously, controlling these shortcuts meant ticking one or two on/off switches in the display settings, which is not great for something that could have multiple options.
